- description: This is the dramatic moment a woman was escorted to hospital on a spinal board after she was thrown from a rubber ring and hit her head on a water slide. Footage of the incident, which took place at Center Parcs Woburn Forest in Bedfordshire, shows Rea Smith, 16, becoming separated on the slide before she crashes into the tunnel. The woman's brother, Matt, filmed the rapid descent on his GoPro while on the slide, and caught the moment of impact on camera. The video shows her brother calling out to her to see if she is okay before quickly realising that she isn't and dismounting the ring at the bottom in an attempt to provide assistance. Rea lands separately from the rest of the group and appears to be in distress as her brother explains to staff members what happened. Meanwhile people appear to continue coming down the slide behind them as staff members enter the pool to help the woman. Lifeguards attach Rea to a spinal board and remove her from the pool so that she can be taken to the hospital. Writing online after the incident, Matt said: 'My family and I were in Woburn Center Parcs last week catching up with the rest of my family. 'We had been doing lots of activities over the various days, and a common one was going on the slides at the swimming pool. 'We had gone down this specific ride many times before. I was recording on my GoPro Hero 4 because it was new and funny to see people's reaction as we went down this ride. 'My sister fell off the ride due to not holding on tight enough. She slipped backwards off the inflatable because of the impacts of the rushing water.' The man added that after his sister was X-rayed it was determined that she only received bruising from the incident and that he was 'very impressed' by how the staff reacted. He wrote: 'I would like to thank the entire team at Center Parcs for all of their help.' Speaking to MailOnline about the incident, a spokesperson for Center Parcs said: 'We are aware of this incident which involved a guest losing her grip on our raft ride at Woburn Forest. 'When the accident occurred, the lifeguard team acted quickly and used a spinal board as a precautionary measure. 'Our medical team checked her over and sent her to hospital who confirmed the injury was a bruised spine. 'We followed up with the guest and her family soon after and were pleased to hear she was OK.'
